Gen. Key was in Hie room and he was at once reminded by the President that Parker was not to be touched 'for the present.

TJic Strain TJpon a Ei'ght years of insurrection have bc- iraa to tell seriously on the material in- ferests of Cuba, as seen in the umin. shed productions of the island and the depleted condition of the exchequer. And yet such is the Castilian pride rules in the councils of the governing authorities, that the contest is likely to proceed to the bitter end. It may be said that the insurgents are no nearer winning a controlling influence in the whole island tlmn they were at the beginning, but tbe Spanish government is also no neater to suoduing them, if as Eear. Tbe insurgents are masters of IhcJr own section ol country and have given evidence of an ability to maintain themselves for an indefinite period.

After eight pears such existence, it would seem as though victory must eventually perch upon their banners. The strain and costs come npon the impaired resources of Spain, which has to maintain armies at great expense of lives and treasure whuc the actually live by lighting, obtaining a goon part of their arms from their adversaries and their supplies rom the plunder of loyal planters. In pitc of'Spanish pride nnd obstinacy, this has got to come to an end some time and by the csbsuisiion of the greater body? The whole history of the war hra been nothir.g but atrocity, a conflict of the knife, the maefcte and the torch, against the bayonet and no nuartcr.
